In late 2002, the US-based The Christensen Fund decided to develop a new program strategy and focus grant making on the interface between natural environments and human cultures. They primarily work with peoples and communities variously known as "indigenous", "tribal" and "minority", and the landscapes with which their cultures, histories and artistic expression are so connected. The Fund's Program Officer for Northern Australia and Melanesia is based in Queensland. She, along with the Fund's Executive Director, Dr Kenneth Wilson, met with members of Philanthropy Australia in Melbourne in June 2006.
